sm'Ies as a Means Of Expression.

in the arst place, there is the presenta-
ton smile OF society. You are presented
10 a lady, who not only bows to show
that she puts herself at your feet, and
perhaps gives her hand to show that she
does not mean to pull hair or scratch q
still follow the doubtless correct eyolu-
ton theory Of ceremonials), but she
smiles and smiles,n 10 show that her
mood is one OF sweet amiability, and that
YOU are. therefore, for the present, safe.
Then there Is the pretty, pearly, rip
ping laugh. with which your nut
brown anocdoie. which has been heard
already twice this evening, is received
Here. certainly, there Is no put-up cas-
cade Of emotion that seeks for an outlet
The sweet lady's laugh Is partly for your
sake. that you may feel the soft thrill of
self-applause, and partly for her own, be-
cause She knows She laughs well. She
pulls il exactly as if it were a stop in an
organ.
Then there is the bitter laugh of the
SD. sad Young man who wishes to i'm
press upon your mind the hollowness that
ali things have for him; and the we'll
managed smile Of Jacques, the elder
cyuic, who thinks thus TO wither YOUR
youthful aspirations and, at the same
time. 10 suggest his own anfathomed
deeps Of cruel disillusion.- atlantic

JUSTICE WOODS, SUCCESSOR.
A General Belief that Secretary Lalnal
will be Appointed.

The prevailing impression is that Secretary
Lamar Will be appointed to the vacancy upon the
q. s. Supreme bench caused by the death OF the
late Justice Woods To STAR reporter, VINO
questioned him on the subject. the Secretary said
he had no more Information than was contained
in the newspapers He had heard nothing from the
President about IL.
The general belief is that the vacancy viii not
be filled until next fall, just prior to the reas-
sembling OF the court and that Secretary Lamar
will be appointed. The President is averse to put
ting any "dead timber" on the Supreme bench. he
wants to make the very best selection possible,
and as the appointment is awarded to
the south and 1t Is known that the Presi-
dent regards Secretary Lamar as the greatest
representive OF that section, there is reason to be-
leve he will make the appointment The tnd1ca-
lions are that Secretary Lamar will accept the
long as he lives he can get any honor within the
gift OF the people OF Mississippi 1t is believed by
many OF his friends that place on the supreme
bench would just suit him.
With regard to the selection Of a Secretary OF the
Interior to succeed Mr. Lamar II he goes on the
bench, 1t is too early to speculate. The matter
has not been considered In Official quarters.
GEoRGIAs CANDIDATE.
Senator Brown, Representatives Blount, Crisp,
and Clements, OF Georgia, had a special audience
with the President to-day and advocated the ap-
pointment OF ex-Representative Hammond, Of
Georgia, to the vacancy In the U. 8. Supreme
Court.

STOPPED BY AN EPIDEMIC AMONG THEM DUE TO
BACTERIA.
CHICAGO, June 2O.-A Times special from Cham
paigD, Ill, says: In his report to the trustees Of
the University OF Illinois, Prof. Forbes, director OF
the state Laboratory OF Natural History, states
that Southern Illinois Is peculiarly unfortunate
this season in being overrun by injurious insects
In certain localities the Hessian fly has done great
damage to the wheat crop, while In others the first
planting OF corn was almost wholly taken by cut
worms. In some places the last-named insects ate
garden vegetables, oats, and grass with equal
relish. However, hopeful indication is found in
the fact that an epidemic appeared among the
worms and carried them on by thousands. This
disease is caused by bacteria. The same
disease has recently been found Destroy
ing great numbers of army worms in jack
county. The subject is being deliberately
studied and experiments being made to see
whether these bacteria cannot be prOpagated and
used for destroying the great farm pests generally
In many portions OF Southern Illinois there has
been much complaint among farmers because OF
dying meadows; and one OF the chief causes OF this
recently has been IOund to be the presence OF an
insect never heretofore reported seriously inu-
rious in America, though allied species are often
frtghtfully destructive In England. The insect is
the young or liryB OF the common large mosquito,
like crane flies, which eats off the grass roots Just
below the surface Of the soil. The chinch-Dug is
again at work; also the corn root web-worm an
insect which has only been known to entomolo-
g1StS few years.
